Hi, I just picked up this beauty about two weeks ago and I'm hoping that I get used to the large size and the LARGE stub nib enough that they become my favorite go to pen! Got a smoking deal on it from Bry at Chatterly pens! It came with a Visconti Leather 2 pen case and a Visconti Traveling Inkwell! Hope you li...

Just finished putting together a website where I'm trying to gather and present as much information as possible about the modern regular edition fountain pens, those made between the 1970s and around 2010 or so. It's located at Montegrappa-History.com. Take a look and if you find a mistake please l...

Dear Users of The Fountain Pen Community, I'm here to introduce a new pen that I produced with Delta factory : the Blue Jay limited edition. The dimensions are the same as the model Delta Dolce Vita Medium Size. The cap and body of this new exclusive limited edition writing set are hand turned from a soli...

I actually mean that the vintage Aurora Pens are worth a look but hopefully these pictures are too. These are some of my Aurora Pens. Three ballpoints and four fountain pens.
The fountain pens are from top to bottom: a Talentum, 8ct GL, 98 and 88P. The empty box is sadly awaiting the pen that belongs th...

Long story short I sent off a solid 18k gold Aurora that had broken clean in two back to the factory in Italy for repair. I then learned that those fine folks get the whole month of August off. Well, my pen arrived yesterday at my front door. The pictures include a few more than just the 750 GL. PeteWK

I was able to confirm this at the DC Pen Show. I walked by the YAFA table, and I saw Stipula pens displayed there. I did not see Jerry Greenberg, but a representative there for YAFA told me that the group had just acquired Stipula last week. YAFA group has built quite an empire in the modern pen world (Conkl...

Here's a photo of my slowly growing Columbus Academia "Yamazaki" pen collection: As you can see, I only have two oif the matching ballpoints. Anyone having any of the other colors for sale or know where I might obtaion them, kindly give me a holler. Jack -- Edited by Jack125 at 16:55, 2007-...

Several years back, I acquired my first Filcao fountain pen and have been adding to my collection since then. Both Dennis Bowden and Giovanni Abrate have been very helpful to me in this endeavor. Here's a photo of my original version Filcao Leaders (which include a few prototypes): Next is a photo of...

Okay you Italian buffs (or just Italian pen buffs), now that my Pelikan M805 has made it through fountain pen bootcamp and secured its place in my passel, I'm starting the long and arduous task of researching my next purchase. This will likely be my only pen purchase in 2010 (okay, okay, the only tripl...

Omas created a D-Day commemorative series back in 1994, fifty years after the event. Unlike so many other Limited Editions and Commemorative things, Omas decided to forgo fancy gimmicks, jewels, bright colors and decoration and instead to create an understated edition that would reflect the ser...

In 1994 Omas introduced their Bibliotheque Nationale Commemorative. Every example I've found so far has had the bow tie clip although I was told there is also a version with the roller clip. [img]http://www.fototime.com...

Several months back, I got the third an final Ancora Demonstrator Pen for my collection, the green, Acqua Demonstrator. The blue is known as the Cielo and the red as the Fuoco. My favorite is the blue, particularly since it is starting to develop a magnificent patina on its clip and bands that the phot...

Not too long ago I got a "new to me" Van Gogh. I've always been intrigued with the Visconti line and finally found one I could afford. Long story short, I'm not at all crazy about the pen. Yeah, it writes OK, but just doesn't feel right in the hand. I don't think it's due to the metal section,...
